Weather in May
May signals a shift in weather patterns as the

The temperature in May ranges from 77°F (25°C) to 85°F (29.4°C), representing one of the warmer periods of the year. The rainfall, although still within the bounds of the dry season, begins to increase, hinting at the impending wet season that starts in
